Classic and Contemporary Poetry

ARMORED by LUCILE HARGROVE REYNOLDS

First Line: YOUR KISS LIES HEARTENINGLY UPON / MY LIPS
Last Line: CAN REACH MY HEART.
Subject(s): KISSES;
Your kiss lies hearteningly upon
My lips as some high accolade;
Sending my timid spirit forth
Quite unafraid.

And from three ageless, golden words
A shield is wrought so that no dart,
However keen or venom-tipped,
Can reach my heart.
